I could understand someone saying they found the guys (esp Vali!) to be jerks, and disliked the book, but I really liked it. Vali offers insights into being non-white in places like Russia and Dubai, while Steve manages to write interesting accounts of his two ocean voyages. I was left wondering how much of their sniping was purely the instigation of an editor, and whether Steve was aware of Vali's "travel diversions" all along? Recommended anyone interested in travel genre give it a try.
